@SeaCanepain I'm house-bound for awhile (make that laying on a heating pad!
). I've decided it's not advisable yet to use my manual ATV to survey my gardens - for now, its all about spyglass gardening!
And as for what I was doing. . . well, like the song goes: that's my story and I'm s-s-stickin' to it!!!
steamer?? Even that loses some nutrition and taste, I believe. To REALLY get that fresh taste, I use my microwave! Shuck that ear, setting aside several complete layers of husk/leaves. . . wash the ear under cold water, removing all silk and bad spots. . .cut off both ends to ready the ear for those short eating handles. . . take 2-3 of the inner leaves and tie them together, making a long "string" (make 2-3 of these "strings"). . . completely wrap the ear with the reserved overlapping layers of husk/leaves. . . use the "strings" to tie the bundle together. . . microwave on high (1100 watt oven) for 1-2 minutes (exact time depends on YOUR oven and personal taste preferences). . . BE CAREFUL when removing!!! IT WILL BE STEAMING HOT!!! Now unwrap that bundle, insert those little handles and do whatever you do (the ear need almost nothing to be able to enjoy th3e fresh taste) and ENJOY!!!
Even supermarket corn tastes almost fresh thius way.
T-t-that's all folks! I think I can hear my heating pad acalling. .
